Artificial Intelligence in Dentistry: The New Opportunity to Discover

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the field of dentistry by enabling advanced diagnostic, treatment planning, and procedural precision. From automated radiographic analysis to robotic-assisted surgeries, AI technologies enhance efficiency and accuracy in patient care. AI-powered imaging tools improve early detection of oral diseases, such as caries, periodontal conditions, and malignancies, by analyzing patterns beyond human capability. In restorative dentistry, AI aids in designing prosthetics and optimizing implant placement with unprecedented precision, reducing complications and improving patient outcomes. Robotic surgery systems leverage AI for minimally invasive procedures, offering greater accuracy, reduced operative times, and safer manipulation of delicate anatomical structures. Additionally, AI facilitates personalized treatment by analyzing large datasets to tailor interventions to individual patient needs. Its applications extend to patient management systems, streamlining appointment scheduling, and predictive analytics for treatment outcomes. As AI continues to evolve, ethical considerations, data privacy, and training integration remain critical for its successful adoption. The synergy between AI and dentistry promises a transformative impact, enhancing both clinical practice and patient experience. This review helps us to recognize the artificial intelligence application in different fields of dentistry.
